I know a couple guys that hunt about 1k acres. In the last 4 years they have killed 13 bucks one of those was aged at 3, two were aged at 4 and the other ten were aged at 5+. Nine of those were killed on green fields. The biggest obstacle to killing mature deer is having mature deer and it ain’t even close.

X2 on Mikes last sentence
I hav 2 properties and the property I hit harder - my very best deer stayed nocturnal
The other property I hardly hunted my best deer showing up often now and has been for a month
For me it pressure and wind and u hav to hav the deer first
My first sit paid off for me again this year which is often the case if Nobody else pressured
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

The biggest obstacle to killing mature deer is having mature deer And the only way to have mature 4/5+ bucks is to stop killing all the 1, 2 and 3 year old bucks.

Read more carefully. The post was about the most common ages of bucks that people kill. Most 1, 2 and 3 year old bucks are killed every single year by hunters. Very few bucks are allowed to make it to 4 years old, much less 5 years old.

Some of you want further encroachment on our hunting privileges, because you prefer a different way of hunting. You bow hunt, so let's limit gun hunters. You want a huge buck, so let's limit the numbers others kill. Go buy several hundred acres, manage it to the best or your ability, and then have some twiddle fart tell you that you can't kill bucks on it, because it isn't fair to them because they can't hunt that type land. Hmmm, sounds like a bunch of democrats to me.
Same people will be on here bitching about chuckie telling them what to do!

A 1.5-2yr old buck is way better to eat then a 5-6yr old and you save your does. Way better sausage also. A nice young spike is prime vittles. Just ask Quailman.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

This comparison of deer management and political liberty is as preposterous as it is ignorant. A man advocating for conservative management of a shared resource can only be right.
And why is it that the argument ALWAYS goes this way??---- Two landowners side by side. Guy A is virtuous and enlightened, an "if it's brown it's down, no rules" kind of hunter, a loving saint who pets lambs and feeds starving children and is the only kind of hunter who TRULY enjoys the outdoors, he knows what's REALLY important about hunting. Guy B is an evil trophy hunter, a miserable grump who robs the fun from hunting and stomps on kittens. He has been brainwashed by Stan Potts and needs therapy to return to the grass roots pursuit of tasty venison (yes, the sarcasm is intended because that's how y'all freakin' act)
Guy A ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS accuses Guy B of being a Democrat, a hunting Nazi, who advocates for more restrictions, and tells him he's being authoritarian and selfish. Because CLEARLY Guy A doesn't in any way, whatsoever, ever at all, affect Guy B. Those deer cross the boundaries all day and night, every day for the entire lives, and Guy A shoots any of them whenever he wants. But Guy B is the selfish one trying to ruin it for everybody? Give me a break. It truly is just like politics after all, the very ones who are actually a negative affector, accuse the other side doing it.

In most of Alabama, the population of mature bucks could significantly increase and the number of mature bucks killed by hunters wouldn't significantly increase. In most places, it's not the complete lack of mature bucks that prevent most people from routinely killing them. It's habitat, hunting styles and other factors. If you never see/kill mature bucks now, that would be unlikely to change. I agree with you. Very few mounter-racked bucks are killed on a greenfield, from a shooting house or ladder stand, that gets hunted every weekend, by every member on the club and their 463 kids and guests (with their Bad Boy Buggy sitting literally in sight) (and it was daylight when they walked in and out). When someone says "hunting club" to me, I immediately think "food plots and ladder stands" and basically no chance at a mounter buck. No thank you. I know of a pile of mature bucks killed on food plots over the past 5 years. Most never post pictures. I’ve personally killed 4 (5 year old) bucks in plots in the same period. My son killed 1 and missed 1 (he’s 11). The thing is we ONLY shoot mature bucks on those properties and we don’t shoot does AT ALL. But to say very few is just plain wrong.
